Romans 2

1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoeuer thou art that condemnest: for in that that thou condemnest another, thou condemnest thy selfe: for thou that condemnest, doest the same things.

Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whosoever you are that judge: for wherein you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you that judge do the same things.

2 But we know that the iudgement of God is according to trueth, against them which comit such things.

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

3 And thinkest thou this, O thou man, that condemnest them which doe such thinges, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the iudgement of God?

And think you this, O man, that judge them which do such things, and do the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?

4 Or despisest thou the riches of his bountifulnesse, and patience, and long sufferance, not knowing that the bountifulnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance?

Or despise you the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

5 But thou, after thine hardnesse, and heart that canot repent, heapest vp as a treasure vnto thy selfe wrath against the day of wrath, and of the declaration of the iust iudgement of God,

But after your hardness and refusing to repent heart treasure up unto yourself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

6 Who wil reward euery man according to his woorkes:

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

7 That is, to them which through patience in well doing, seeke glorie, and honour, and immortalitie, euerlasting life: (aiōnios g166)

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)

8 But vnto them that are contentious and disobey the trueth, and obey vnrighteousnesse, shalbe indignation and wrath.

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

9 Tribulation and anguish shalbe vpon the soule of euery man that doeth euill: of the Iewe first, and also of the Grecian.

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

10 But to euery man that doeth good, shalbe glory, and honour, and peace: to the Iew first, and also to the Grecian.

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

12 For as many as haue sinned without the Lawe, shall perish also without the Lawe: and as many as haue sinned in the Lawe, shall be iudged by the Lawe,

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

13 (For the hearers of the Lawe are not righteous before God: but the doers of the Lawe shalbe iustified.

(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14 For when the Gentiles which haue not the Lawe, doe by nature, the things conteined in the Lawe, they hauing not the Lawe, are a Lawe vnto themselues,

For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

15 Which shew the effect of the Lawe written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witnes, and their thoughts accusing one another, or excusing, )

Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; )

16 At the day when God shall iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christ, according to my Gospel.

In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

17 Beholde, thou art called a Iewe, and restest in the Lawe, and gloriest in God,

Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast of God,

18 And knowest his will, and triest the things that dissent from it, in that thou art instructed by the Lawe:

And know his will, and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

19 And persuadest thy selfe that thou art a guide of the blinde, a light of them which are in darkenesse,

And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

20 An instructer of them which lacke discretion, a teacher of the vnlearned, which hast the forme of knowledge, and of the truth in ye Law.

An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

21 Thou therefore, which teachest another, teachest thou not thy selfe? thou that preachest, A man should not steale, doest thou steale?

You therefore which teach another, teach you not yourself? you that preach a man should not steal, do you steal?

22 Thou that saist, A man should not commit adulterie, doest thou commit adulterie? thou that abhorrest idoles, committest thou sacrilege?

You that say a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? you that abhor idols, do you commit sacrilege?

23 Thou that gloriest in the Lawe, through breaking the Lawe, dishonourest thou God?

You that make your boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonour you God?

24 For ye Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

25 For circucision verely is profitable, if thou do the Lawe: but if thou be a transgressour of the Lawe, thy circumcision is made vncircumcision.

For circumcision verily profits, if you keep the law: but if you be a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.

26 Therefore if the vncircumcision keepe the ordinances of the Lawe, shall not his vncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27 And shall not vncircumcision which is by nature (if it keepe the Lawe) condemne thee which by the letter and circumcision art a transgressour of the Lawe?

And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the law?

28 For hee is not a Iewe, which is one outwarde: neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29 But he is a Iewe which is one within, and the circumcision is of the heart, in the spirite not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, (pneuma) and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
